Description
There were tears and hugs at Oceanside Municipal Airport Wednesday as 10-year-old Declan Henson was reunited with the Mercy Air flight crew who helped save his life.
"It's amazing being able to have that closure, and to thank them personally," said Christopher Henson, Declan's father, his eyes filling with tears. "[It's] hard to put into words. You don't realize, you never think it could happen to you. We're just thankful."
Back in June, Declan was in an accident while riding his bike near the family's home at Camp Pendleton. His father is in the Navy.
Declan's handlebars hit his abdomen so hard, it punctured the main artery that supplies blood to his liver. The Mercy Air crew told CBS 8 that most people, adults and children, don't survive an injury like that. It's that serious.
